New AvP2 Release Date: 18-Jan-08?

Posted 93 Comments

A couple of reports over at Bloody-Disgusting and at Arrow In The Head are saying that Fox have shifted the release date from December 25th to January 18th. If this is true, I guess they’ll have to change greenband trailer and what about the movie title? The January 18th release date also happens to be the UK release date of AvP2 so if the US date has changed, so will the UK one.

Yeah, I always said they would postpone it but moving it from Christmas to go up against 1-18-08 is perhaps an even worse move. We spoke to Fox who said that AvP2 is still scheduled for the Christmas release date though. Thanks to DazAvP01 for the news.

Edit: Okay I can confirm that the date has not changed. The 18th is the international release date. Those site’s just got the wrong end of the stick. Here’s what Fox said on the matter:

“Some have heard through the rumor mill that the date for this release has changed. NOT SO! Forgive the confusion, but an international site posted the UK release date which is January 18th (and many other sites have picked up on it). We in the U.S. have not waivered from our bold release date of CHRISTMAS DAY – Dec 25th 2007.” (Hicks)

    Speaking of the razor whip... did anybody else notice in the RB trailer when wolf faces of with "Chet" *briefly shutters* in the rain (right after he extends his spear, no wisecracks guys lol), it appears he tried to razor whip her but it wrapped around her tail (either by mistake, or she countered) and she yanks it out of his hand and it goes flying into the background?  Good stuff. lol   :D     ;)    Although, I'm still having trouble believing it's capable of cutting an alien warrior in half. Like a chainsaw.   ::)

    Wolf has a sword i paused it on the spot b4 he whips the alien in half he swings it back and there u can see he has a sword..im pretty positive thats one of his new weapons..cuz in alot of AVP comics they have a sword that would be awesome to see..

    I just paused it and i seen when the predator is holding the aliens up he turns to the left alien and i paused it on that exact moment and he has his shoulder cannon red laser beam pointed on his head..he probably shoots the one on the left with his cannon and does hand to hand combat to the one on the right..cuz that would make the fight scene more intense plus the straus bros said they did in camera angles in fight scenes to make it seem like your theres so hand to hand combat would seem more intense and believable..

    Thank God for sequels with most of the crap they put out these days I' de rather see a sequel to something that's already good. Aliens, Predator, Terminator, Robocop etc. Have any of you seen the Trailer for the new RAMBO movie? It looks awsome.

    Yes, Optimus, that too...   ;)    I had a secret hope the 18th could be both the US and International release, but that would bea sking too much of poor old Fox...   ::)    Well, it's their loss...   ;D     ;)

    oh & the austrailian release date should be same as the U.S. the further the apart the release date's are, more chance of piracy dvd's and critic's slating the movie which mite change ur opinion without giving the movie a fair chance.  Rock On!

    Hey gb, hows it goin dude? my ideal release date? hmmm.  Well the U.S release date should be Dec 28th,  and the the U.K should be Jan 4th.  There both relesed on a friday, its after xmas and should be no problems..the title also could be the same AVP-R in the U.K & U.S because the releases are so close   Rock On!    ;D

    I thought it seemed kind of crazy to have christmas on the trailer and play silent night and then all the sudden change their mind.   Oh well, I wouldnt expect alot on christmas but that coming weekend (after xmas) it could do well. It could also do well over new years weekend. Thats two holiday weekends for it to make money, but it has alot of competition too.

    BMH... We hate Anderson because of what he did to the predators, P 1 and P 2 were awesome, the alien saga was already in a downward spiral, I'd love to see a Predator 2 directors cut NC17 hddvd someday...I only hope AVP R will bring it all back!
